Josh scores 12 and Kostas 6 or 7 and Svoboda hits just one three and its a close game. The guards other than John had a pretty good nite. John was unable to execute the offense against the zone and we had to count on a freshman to play 34 min with no help up front.

Yep. Kostas got 2 fouls in 28 seconds and he played tentative the rest of the night. Changed everything. Cunningham looked like he would have rather been at Flanigan's getting drunk than playing last night. Missing out on the entire starting lineup from a year ago as well as another BIG suspended and having Crosby left as the PG who all of a sudden is suppose to be a good PG is asking way too much especially 2 weeks into the year.
Missing tons of wide-open 3's is no different than having WR's dropping half a dozen balls in a game. Kills drives just like missing wide-open 3's that can have huge swings. Down 5-6 pooits and miss 2 wide open 3's and your opponent comes down and hits one and it's now a 8-9 point deficit.
This simply puts a dagger into both a young team and a team that is very very inexperienced playing together. I have absolutely complete faith in AG.
